Ya but that's not what the first one says. It says 2 weeks 150 bucks. Now thats fishy when the other "original" says 10 min and $50 bucks.

If it's a scam, that's one professional website. I think it's legit. Check with the Better Business Bureau and Mazda USA (not a dealership).

+1 for this.

If it turns out to be legit, then maybe you can get more money out of them for that long of a time without your car.

See that link I don't think is a scam. Just the letter that Stealth got. Totally different than what is said on what Tim posted.

Deffinatly gotta agree, Better Business Bureau is the way to go. 719-636-1155. Yes i keep them on speed dial being military. To many things dont add up. And why are they asking for your car if Acura wants to know? It'd make more sense if they asked for Acuras so they could boast about the outcomes if they were good.

I think what they are looking for during that 10 minutes (from Tim's link) and what they are looking for in Stealth's letter are totally different things.

I'll call MazdaUSA tomorrow and ask them what they know about it. With the # off their WEBSITE, not the letter.

Either way, $150 is NOT enough for me to surrender my baby for a week.

I'd call both number just to see if their stories match up.

Be without your car for 1-2 weeks, not knowing who's driving it, what they're doing to it, for $150??











Fuck.

That.

Well, Mazda North American Ops says this is LEGIT.

But $150 STILL isn't enough to surrender my ride for 1-2 weeks. 1-2 days MAYBE....
